Tax

Our Aird & Berlis LLP Tax Group is highly regarded on a national and international basis for protecting our clients' assets through domestic and international tax planning, structuring of business transactions and litigating tax disputes. Our lawyers are well recognized for the innovative domestic and international tax planning they have developed through the creative use of corporations, partnerships, trusts, joint ventures and other vehicles. Other law firms and accounting firms regularly seek the expertise of our Tax Group to serve their clients more effectively.
 
Advice is provided on the tax-advantaged structuring of all types of transactions. Lawyers from our Corporate Finance and Corporate/Commercial Groups work closely with our Tax Group to ensure that business transactions, arrangements and strategies produce the most favourable tax consequences possible.
 
As a result of our strong technical expertise and excellent relations with the Canada Revenue Agency, we are able to successfully represent clients needing advance tax rulings, promoting legislative change and disputing and negotiating the settlement of tax reassessments. When tax disputes cannot be settled, our Tax Litigation Team lawyers represent clients before the Ontario Superior Court, the Tax Court of Canada and the Federal Court of Appeal.
